Yesterday was New Year’s Day, and I had a bunch of new letters in my mailbox. Many of them were New Year’s greetings, including one from Mom, who sent me 10,000 bells. Nice! And the letter from Truffles was particularly amusing; she said she resolved to become a sewer worker in 2025!<\/p>\n\n\n

But there was also this one from Whitney, who said she guesses <\/em>she’ll spend some time with me this year, but only because her boyfriend is busy. <\/p>\n\n\n

I visited Drift, and he demanded that I hurry up and give him a New Year’s gift! That’s not how it works, froggy.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Drift:
No gift for Drift, sorry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He also told me his new year’s resolution was to get his body fat down to 0.02%! Yeah, I don’t think that’s possible (or healthy).<\/p>\n\n\n

Tortimer was over near town hall, and he said he prepared a New Year’s fortune for me!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Tortimer:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The fortune said I’d have a “kinda lucky” year. I’ll believe it when I see it. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

Caroline offered me a free racer shirt, and I gladly accepted. It’ll go with my helmet!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Caroline:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I raced <\/em>to put the shirt on, and I later stuffed my sandwich shirt into storage at my house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Drift told me he was so pumped that he was going to practice figure skating until he’s sick. He then told me that he was on a quest…for a cockroach.<\/p>\n\n\n

He then said he was so far from home, and he hoped he wasn’t lost. But this was only a few feet from his house, just a 5-second walk or so. \ud83d\ude1b Filbert might be the weirdest dude in town, but Drift can be pretty odd himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tank wanted a new catchphrase to replace “yip yip,” so I told him to say “in 2025” instead. He actually used it in a fairly appropriate way (with confetti), although this definitely isn’t going to be one of my funnier phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n
